Im a little old SA man (21 :) ) who interested in buying a car from Sydney, Bexley. Im trying to organise an RAA inspection for the car but not having much luck.

All im after is a VERY quick look at the car, first to make sure im not being scammed and second is just to make sure it drives, nothing more.

If ANYBODY can please help me out that would be much appreciated, Ill give you the address and you can set a time that suits you. Im even happy to throw some money your way if you can give it a good look over.

Thanks in advance

What car is it?

Link to carsales.com ad or anything?

Id prefer I didnt post the add on the forum but happy to supply it via PM, but its an S14 and its very lightly modded.

i can get it fully inspected if you want.. i live next to Bexley and get it professionally checked at IS Motor racing inside out. It'll cost you a bit money.. i dnt need any money for myself as i am happy to help you..But you'll have to pay $150 inspection fee .

Cheers,

manu

Sorry i just called the owner Indy So and price is now $200. But he'll be personally checking this car and i trust his work anyday..still a better price to pay then NRMA"s $250 with no knowledge about performance cars.. PMed you his number in case you want to check anything with him and price.. His workshop is next to bexley

    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
